Hi! I'm a newbie here, tiptoeing in.

My DD7 is in second grade. She is currently in a gifted pull-out program one day a week, which is an enrichment program for all the kids in the district who tested in the top 2.5-3% on the district's giftedness assessment tests. She is bused to another school for the program.

That is all that the district offers for 2nd grade. In 3rd grade, she will have the option of attending a full-time program that accelerates the normal grade-level curriculum.

So far, DD loves 2nd grade -- both in her regular classroom and in her gifted pull-out class. Even when the class assignments are not challenging enough, DD is generally able to modify them to work for her (by writing or reading more than the minimum required, for example).
